How is it their boy, their cause? I mean, the story is ugly and not much to cover, plus it's extra.

The importance level, the interest level, it's all rather low in comparison to billionaires, team owners, politicians, leaders of nations, real
celebrities (not this pitiful $1.8 million a year he was getting for his role in a low quality newbie series for basically free broadcast
television).

I'm not taking away from it or suggesting that they're avoiding it because they're all rats in cahoots, pushing a sinister liberal agenda, but it's
true that there's nothing else that'll come out of it until trial. No new material to cover, no substantial updates. It'd just be pointing the finger,
beating a dead horse eventually, rehashing the same few minutes of information with new commentaries blowing up the race relation and political
aspects of it. Let's polarize people even further! Why not?

The MSM is in serious damage-control mode trying to keep the "#Me Too" thing afloat...this dude has done some SERIOUS damage!!!

Politicians are running for cover, serious cover. This is BAD....absolutely HORRIFYING!! It is sending shudders up throug the highest of ranks.

Here's why...

African American leaders, Police commissioners, Judges and all manner of other "officials" have taken great offense to this incident...and they
SHOULD! BRAVO for them!! This individual has made it harder for EVERYONE to make a credible case of racial inustice! AND....

The Democratic left is reeling (big time) because this individual has stolen their platform of hate. He has diminished their arguments forever more.
It's HUGE!!

The only Demo untouched by this is AOC, because she's just out there chasing butterflies in right field.

No...the "PUNCH" line is....when this dude shows up in 'general population', and Lee Roy, who's been pumping iron for 15 years out in the yard, puts
an end to this dude's life...for diminishing everything he ever stood for!!

THAT is the "punch" line!!

ETA...This dude Smollet, will live for six minutes in general population! Unless they put this "Boi" in Club Fed, which I doubt they will,
he's...toast!!

Must've been one too many because my laborious work day seemed lax. I caught myself feeling guilty for making an hourly wage when there wasn't much
work to be done due to the weather keeping customers away. I had to look up how to spell laborious, I almost missed the i in it. Then I looked back at
my marvel and realized that almost missing the i in laborious when describing a day that wasn't laborious but implying that it was as a joke all along
was..

I read the thread again and see how it could infact be heavy sarcasm but I didn't detect it because it fell so inline with a thread that would
typically appear on the forum shortly after the Smolett news from someone discontent that Smolett isn't being covered like a national emergency in the
news.

There is a possibility he could get probation for the state level felony, but the federal charges are not going to be so easy to shake off.

And it is the United States Postal Inspectors who are working this angle:

Since being created by Benjamin Franklin—yes, that Benjamin Franklin—the service has learned a few things about tracing mail-based crimes.
Figuring out who mailed a letter has been made easier because, while most criminals know to wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, most criminals
also forget to leave their cellphones at home when they go to the mailbox.

...

Meanwhile, the FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been quietly working on the origins of Smollett’s letter for nearly a month. Giving it
far more “attention” than he knew.

Late Monday, CWBChicago received confirmation that the letter case has been before a federal grand jury and multiple subpoenas have been generated
over the course of the investigation.

In a conversation on Feb. 8th, before police met with brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo, a leading source within the Smollett attack investigation
called the hate crime a "false flag" and said “There is a direct line between (the letter) and (the purported attack)." In the same conversation,
the source hinted at what was to come: "This is not a whodunit. It's a how-many-people-dunit."

Whoever mailed the letter "made an enormous mistake," we were told. Federal charges were "certain."

No, I feel he should be just like any other felon in general population of a Federal Penitentiary. He's a tough guy, so I'm sure he'll be just
fine....don't YOU???? AND, if not, ...why should he be treated differently?????????????

I can see how you would feel like the media is letting you down if you feel that way. There is always the chance you are over reacting.

The "media" is not letting me down, the media is only doing what I expected all along.

That is actually not the case dude.
Every time I turned on the news the past two days across all networks they are all slamming him for his lies.
I will admit that the left wing media is not talking as much as the right cause they jumped the gun at first. But yes they are still calling him out.
At this point the right is just using this to take focus off other things going on. And that should be painfully obvious considering everything going
on in the world.
Any right leaning news or opinion information agencies will jump on anything to smear the left and the same can be said about the left. They distract
and divide for a agenda, and it's working.

I don't know if you saw my post in one of the other Smollett threads, but another guy who did something similar received 46 months in prison!!! The
feds got him, I'm just waiting for the announcement.

To the op, I saw an article on Google today from CNN. I refuse to give CNN my web traffic, but the headline said... Why Smollett story was
questionable from the beginning.... I just shook my head. This from CNN!!! What a joke.
